With the red team led by Anne and blue by Michael, the competitors are in for a rigorous culinary boot camp where the team leaders will stop at nothing to improve their recruits&#8217; skills. The challenges are tougher and more outrageous than ever, including a Vegas-themed game show, a camping cookout where stoves and ovens are off-limits, and a &#8220;tour de petit four&#8221; dessert relay. In the end, only one recruit is awarded a $25,000 grand prize and bragging rights for their mentor. The six-episode season premieres on Sunday, April 25th at 9PM (all times ET\/PT) on Food Network and streams the same day on discovery+.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18642\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18642\" style=\"width: 208px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Anne-Burrell.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18642 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Anne-Burrell-208x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"208\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Anne-Burrell-208x300.jpg 208w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Anne-Burrell.jpg 479w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 208px) 100vw, 208px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18642\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anne W.

The action begins with a culinary time trial game to see who has improved since their last stint in boot camp and who has reverted back to their old ways. The recruits then must remake the dish that got them sent home last time. After teams are chosen, the teams are tasked with replicating their mentor&#8217;s dishes, which includes butchering whole ducks, and the least successful competitor is sent home. In the finale on Sunday, May 30th at 9pm, the two most improved recruits put their culinary skills to the test and serve a three-course restaurant quality meal to a panel of food experts. After a blind taste test, judges Einat Admony, Cliff Crooks and Sohla El-Waylly decide who wins $25,000 and bragging rights for their team leader.<\/p>\n<p>Fans can meet the returning recruits, get exclusive cooking tips, and take an extended look at Anne and Michael&#8217;s boot camp demos with the digital companion series Extra Helping.
